Monday we concluded our category groups and moved into jigsaw groups. Students have to collect information for the three groups they were not a part of and share information for the group they were.
After completing the jigsaw collection sheet students will move into the solo portion of the project and answer the following three questions: "Which category of Renaissance Players had the biggest impact on the Renaissance and why?" "Which individual person had the most impact on the Renaissance and why?" and "Which one Player from the Renaissance did you find the most interesting and why?"
The answers to these questions displayed in a Socratic Seminar style of discussion will be the B-A+ level of the assessment. Each student that completed the research collection portion on their Player, including three sources, already has achieved a C on the basic level of the assessment. Any student that did not complete that part or does not complete it by Wednesday will not participate in the Seminar and will only be able to score a C.
Most of the information that students will need has already been provided either by themselves or from their group. If you want to collect some more information to help you with the three questions, giving you a better shot at a high score on the Socratic Seminar, you may do additional research at home. Tomorrow we are offering another BYOD day to aid you in that endeavor.
Your B-A+ level score will depend on what and how your share information connected to those three questions mentioned above.
